Rethink PTFE Liners: PFAS-Free EverGlide+ Liner Tubing Now Available on Chamfr
Why PFAS-Free, High-Lubricity Liner Tubing Matters in Catheter Design
When you’re deep in the early stages of catheter development, every design decision impacts downstream performance, manufacturability, and time to validation. For years, PTFE liners have been the standard for low-friction performance, but they come with processing challenges, etching requirements, and increasing regulatory scrutiny around PFAS.
Now available on Chamfr, Dynaflex Technologies’ EverGlide+ extruded tubing gives R&D teams a new path forward, delivering a PFAS-free alternative that matches the low-friction performance of PTFE liners, without the processing drawbacks. Whether you’re building complex multi-layer shafts or testing new lumen configurations, Dynaflex Technologies helps you prototype and iterate faster.
EverGlide+ and Dyna: Specs at a Glance
Dynaflex Technologies has launched 225+ new extruded tubing SKUs across its EverGlide+ and Dyna-infused Pebax and Nylon materials for optimal catheter performance. These tubes are in-stock and are ready-to-ship today.
EverGlide+ (PFAS-Free Catheter Liners)
A PFAS-free, e-beam sterilizable, extruded liner tubing that delivers lubricity comparable to PTFE, without the processing challenges. Unlike traditional blends, EverGlide+ features a proprietary compound that simplifies bonding and eliminates the need for surface etching.
- Durometers Available: 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D
- Applications: Inner lumens, shaft liners, PFAS-free catheter designs
EverGlide Dyna1 and Dyna2 (Additives)
Next-generation additives designed to be blended with base polymers like Pebax and Nylon to enhance surface lubricity and performance.
- EverGlide Dyna1: First-generation additive, performance comparable to leading lubricious materials.
- EverGlide Dyna2: Second-generation formulation with 2–3× higher lubricity versus leading alternatives, and excellent stability under use—no measurable leaching or migration observed in internal tests.
- Applications: Outer jackets, steerable shafts, and other surface-sensitive catheter components.
- Sterilization Compatibility: Validated for e-beam sterilization, with no surface degradation or additive migration.
Dimensional Range (All SKUs)
- Inner Diameters: 0.0125″ to 0.450″
- Wall Thicknesses: 0.001″ to 0.020″
Table to help with product differences:
| Product | Type | Application | Key Features |
| EverGlide+ | Extruded PFAS-free liner tubing | Direct use as PFAS-free, e-beam sterilizable liner replacement | Drop-in PTFE liner alternative; available in multiple durometers (e.g., EverGlide+ 60D, 20D) |
| EverGlide Dyna (Dyna 1) | Additive | To be blended with base polymers (Pebax, Tecoflex, etc.) | Improves lubricity; similar to leading lubricious materials |
| EverGlide Dyna2 | Additive (latest gen.) | To be blended with base polymers (Pebax, Tecoflex, etc.) | 2–3× more lubricious than leading lubricious materials; no leaching issues |
Application Guidance for EverGlide+ Liner Tubing and Dyna Additives
Choosing the right liner and jacket material combination is about more than just friction, it’s about optimizing for manufacturability, sterilization compatibility, and design flexibility.
EverGlide+ Liner Tubing: Ideal for Liner Replacement
- Use in place of etched PTFE for lower process complexity
- Works well in multi-layer shafts due to strong bonding characteristics
- Suitable for use with e-beam sterilization and other common processes
- Supports PFAS-free initiatives for sustainability and regulatory compliance
EverGlide Dyna1 and Dyna2: Ideal for Outer Jackets
- Dyna1 improves lubricity in cost-sensitive builds or early prototypes
- Dyna2 offers significantly higher lubricity and durability for performance-driven designs
- Compatible with Pebax, Tecoflex, and other elastomeric base materials
- Reduces need for additional surface coatings
Whether you’re building a cardiovascular shaft with tight tolerances or a neurovascular system that demands low friction and maximum trackability, the EverGlide family can help you meet your design goals with fewer trade-offs.
